Abstract
The newly-emerged gas sensing detection of 1-octen-3-ol biomarker is expected to indirectly monitor foodborne illnesses caused by Salmonella-contaminated meat, which requires high selectivity and a ppb-concentration detection limit. Here, surface-doped ruthenium over tungsten oxide nanocubes (Ru/WO3 NCBs) have been synthesized by a wet-chemical approach for highly selective and ppb-concentration 1-octen-3-ol sensing. As-prepared Ru/WO3 NCBs exhibit a polycrystalline structure and consist of NCBs that have an average side length of ∼131 nm, and the Ru/WO3 NCBs show a high sensing response toward 5 ppm 1-octen-3-ol (Ra/Rg = 406), excellent selectivity, 50 ppb detection limit, 70 % relative humidity tolerance, and 54 days stability at 220 °C. The excellent sensing performance might be attributed to the electronic and chemical sensitization of Ru, which thickens the electron depletion layer and increases adsorbed oxygen to promote interfacial electron transfer and 1-octen-3-ol oxidation. Practically, Ru/WO3 NCBs have been integrated into a sensing device to simulate detecting 1-octen-3-ol, which has the potential for Salmonella detection in the future.
期刊介绍:
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
